I first became interested in the idea of using two or more
photographs together after seeing Duane Michaels 1970 book "Sequences"
and the 1940 photograph by Ansel Adams "Surf Sequence, San Mateo County
Coast, California." While Michaels used multiple panel photographs to
tell a story and Adams used them to show a sequence in time, I wanted to
use them as a way to explore space in an unconventional way. I am drawn
to making these photographs, especially triptychs, for their ability to
expand wide angle perspective in a way that is uniquely different from
what is captured with a wide angle lens.
More of my triptychs can be seen at:
